Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe

Chicken is one of those staple dishes, but can get old fast. Here’s a recipe from a book I reviewed a few years ago that dealt with food allergies. While this recipe is gluten free, it also tastes good. Enjoy!

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place chicken breasts with marinade in the casserole dish and cover tightly. Bake for 45 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pint inside and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a breast registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips

Chicken can be marinated at room temperature for up to 30 minutes if you are short on time. Any longer, make sure it is refrigerated. Throw out the plastic bag used for marinating.

Can’t find the cover that fits your casserole? Cover it with foil, dull side out. Trace around the rim with your fingers to be sure foil forms a tight seal.

Variations

Rather than baking the chicken, barbecue or grill it for 5 to 8 minutes per side.

Substitute an equal amount of oregano for the thyme. Or use 1 tbsp. (15 mL) snipped fresh thyme or oregano.
